What appears to be a professionally produced television commercial from the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF). Spot begins with a sad woman by a window. In the background is a child humming a sad tune. The scene shifts to a small boy opening a chest in the attic. He finds a military uniform and helmet. He puts them on. In the chest he then sees a revolver and a photograph of a man in the uniform. He picks up the gun, drops it and it appears to fire. The scene cuts to war footage and loud gunfire. A voiceover appeals for peace.
Closed Captioning is available for this film.
